Time to edit or remove the BBQ Pit sticky?

[Carol_Stream]

After all, the members are not following it, and more importantly, the mods are not enforcing it.

Rants which are genuine but simply too tepid or mundane for the Pit will be moved or closed, as we see fit.

So what’s up with the following threads?

Mini-rants

A thread complaining about what’s in the mini-rant thread :rolleyes:

College rants

A rant about something that didn’t even happen to the member, just his wife?

and this, “Let us pool our minor annoyances to create a festering swamp”.

100% of this ‘content’ belongs in MPSIMS, doncha think?

Mods?

No links, only because all of the above (with the exception of the original mini-rant thread) are on the front page of the Pit.

[Gukumatz]

Ah, some things do get shuffled over. Just not the stuff you’d want to be shuffled over. The Pit Sticky serves as a nice treshhold, and good justification when something that isn’t even a rant is moved over

[Carol_Stream]

I missed one.

“Pit things that make you sad”, and RO threads in general.

I think part of the problem here is your baseless assumption that anyone really cares what you think about the subject.

About this subject? I’d expand it a bit further than that.

It’s not really important what the BBQ Pit sticky says, just as long as it’s there. It really isn’t BBQ if it’s not sticky.

Mods?

You’re right, they’re wrong. The Pit has gotten entirely too fluffy in these last months. It is in need of a good curb-stomping by some jackbooted thugs. Too bad neither druids nor giraffes favor such footware.

[Lord_Ashtar]

Yeah, where’s Coldfire when we need him?

[lieu]

I’d like to think he’s on the porch flashing his neighbors.

Aaaaaaarrrrrgh!!! Damn you, Borborygmi, I’ve just read your location.

Saaaaaay, that’s not some sort of mini-rant, is it?

So true, and of so many things in life.

[Otto]

Maybe, maybe not, but it’s past time to unstick the “Heh (Politics in GQ)” sticky in GQ.

No, I think outrage-wise, it’s probably the most valid pit possible. You’re lucky not to be tarred and feathered!

Hey, look everyone! Is that mittu?

Goddamn, what a lame rant.

Oh lord yes.

@woodstockbirdybird

Goddamn, what a lame rant.

It’s not any sort of rant, lame or otherwise. It’s just a simple observation.

If any of you feel that a Pit thread is too mild, by all means, report the OP of the nonoffending thread. Seriously. If you think a thread is too fluffy, let a mod or two know about it. The mod may not act in the way you think is best, but mods don’t read every thread.

Please note that I am semi-retired, and I’m not on regular Pit duty any longer…mostly I just squish spammers when I happen across them.
